A local environmental campaigner has released a song to coincide with the International Day for Biological Diversity today (Friday 22nd).

Sam Gracie is a singer-songwriter and music producer who also helps organise the Guardians of Whitewebbs campaign group in Enfield, which opposes the plans by Tottenham Hotspur to build a women’s training centre on Whitewebbs Park.

Guardians of Whitewebbs is the group which is due to take Enfield Council to court next month after winning the right to launch a judicial review challenge against the civic centre’s decision to grant planning permission to Spurs last year.

The song Can you find me, you, us? is being released as a collaboration together with Michigan-based musician Cece Alaniz.

It is described as “a hauntingly beautiful indie art pop piece which fuses soulful and ambient guitar and synthesiser melodies with alternative R&B rhythms”.

Sam says the song “explores the relationship between climate change, humanity, division and connection through a unique mixed-media lens”.

He continues: “Paired with my campaigning, this release embodies the theme of the 2026 International Day for Biological Diversity – ‘acting locally for global impact‘.”

Regarding his work with Cece, Sam adds: “Collaboration is always thrilling and exciting, and it produces some of the most beautiful, unexpected outcomes.”

Can you find me, you, us? is released today (Friday 22nd) on all streaming platforms:
